SANTA CLAUS has an appointment
at the 2. NJ. church, on Saturday
evening, at o'clock. An artistic
grotto is being prepared for his
headquarters, from which he win
distribute his many Christmas pres
ents. No admittance fee, but don't
forget the usual collection.
CHAs. TERRILL, who has been
prostrated several weeks by fever,
has moved from the Haiker Spensley
farm to the old Shepard residence
in this city. We are pleased to see
Charlie thus able to get around. 1t
is not likely, however, that he will
be able to undertake to do much
this winter.
WHEN you make holiday present
it will be much more valued by the
recipient if it is an article that is
serviceable, durable, and of use to
the one to whom it is given. Such
a present can be selected from the
many useful articles to be found at
A. f. Bishops furniture store.
The Indian Medicine Company,
after nearly three weeks soiourn in
this city, left Monday for Darling
ton, with the intention of coming
back two nights Christmas week.
They drew large crowds and evi-
IDENTIFY made money. Two well
known parties were successfully
treated for tape worm.
CHRISTMAS is coming, and the
exuberant lad who has been devot-
ing his eleven months of Sundays TO
base ball and other outdoor festiv-
tiles has lately popped up suddenly
in the Sunday-school room, which

annual Sunday-snhool boy knows
Santa Claus when he sees him com
ing, and he doesn't fail to "get

THE fire northwest of here last
Friday evening, and which attracted
the attention of nearly all our citi-
zens, proved to be the mining cabin
of the Jackson Bros. about two
miles distant. 1t was entirely con
sumed together with a winter supply
of wood, some powder, lot of tools
and clothing. The loss is much
greater than one would suppose.
Cause unknown.
lT is understood that during the
late session of the county board a
man made the assertion before mem
bers of that body that the county
school superintendent had not visit
ed schools in the town of Mineral
Point during the last year. This is
entirely untrue, and does the super
lntendent a great injustice. We
know to a certainty that he has, and
can get dozens to certify to the same.
AT Pulford's drug store is a large
selection of articles just right for
presents.
PROF. GILLETT, our county school
superintendent, called on the TBIB-
UNE Tuesday. He is devoting this
week to visiting schools in this
vicinity. The Professor is an earn
est worker in the cause of educa-
ton, and Is giving the county more
thorough investigation than it has
had for years. He is fast proving
himself the man for the place, as
was vouched for by the gentlem an
who presented bis name for the
nomination.
